Racing cautiously restarts

Tuesday, July 28th, 2020

LFYC club racing will cautiously restart on Sat 01/08/20.

A newly revised schedule has been put in place. Details here.

Some new procedures for safe sailing have been put in place particularly in the boatyard and the changing rooms and clubhouse. Please take note of the new signage and take appropriate good care.

Depending on the course of the pandemic we may reverse this decision to race so please keep monitoring the website and social media channels.

The Culmore Regatta will go ahead and several other special prize events have been included in the schedule. So keep safe and enjoy the racing.

 

 

The Friendly season

Monday, July 20th, 2020

There has, of course, been a long pause in sailing activities caused by the Coronavirus. However we are now pleased to mention that sailing has now cautiously restarted, but not full racing – at least not yet.

An informal series of friendly racing has started. In this series, which runs as per the original race schedule, there is a start gun and positions are recorded but no LFYC or handicap are applied. The friendly racing is being hosted because 1. because sailing but not racing is a bit boring and might even be impossible, 2. because some boats are not sailing at all with crew and helm still cocooning, 3. because the normal crew/helm teams are still socially distancing, 4. general prudent precautionary measures

In the boatyard we are observing social distancing and the changing rooms are limited to two people per room. Many thanks to Liam H and Peter F for Rescue cover and OD duties.
